   A collaboration made in tabloid heaven: Lindsay Lohan to sing with Lily Allen

With fewer and fewer acting offers coming her way, Lindsay Lohan seems set to fall back on her music career to keep herself afloat, reports have it. Apparently, Lindsay and new pal Lily Allen, known for her scathing lyrics, have decided to join forces for a new album, with plans to head into the studio sometime this summer.

La Lohan, as she’s often called in the tabloid media, and the British hitmaker met as Lily was in the US doing promotional duties, and hit it off so nicely that they even got matching finger tattoos after hanging out together a couple of nights. But their friendship goes beyond that, sources are telling the British tabloid The Sun, with the stars thinking of going into music together. Not that Lindsay is a stranger to making music albums, of course.

“They have been getting on really well and they’re planning a summer escape, along with Lindsay’s girlfriend Samantha Ronson. They’ve discussed the Bahamas, and are also planning a trip to the Coachella Music Festival in April to see Amy Winehouse perform. They’ve discussed making a record together, possibly at a pre-arranged studio, while they’re away on holiday.” an unnamed insider tells the publication.

As noted above, Lindsay Lohan is not a stranger to music herself. In 2004 and 2005 she put out no less than two albums, both with a reported very personal note, but only the first actually performing any way in the charts. “A Little More Personal (Raw),” the follow-up to “Speak,” was dropped after a while by Lindsay’s own record label, as the star repeatedly failed to show up at scheduled press meetings, as well as to meet her contractual obligations regarding the promotion of the album.

With all that, several media outlets are pointing out, perhaps Lohan should watch her back as to her friendship with Lily. The British singer, although undeniably one of the most talented of her generation, has made a reputation for herself of always putting her feelings after a breakup (be it from a lover or simply just a friend) into song, so this could be pretty embarrassing for Lindsay.
